How to get your hands on an NES Classic Edition right now

Look, it’s just a fact of life that sometimes if you want something popular, you’ve got to pay a little extra. This is especially true when it comes to popular new tech toys. The AirPods are one good example — they’re impossible to find in Apple stores but you can score a pair right now on Craigslist if you’re willing to pay a premium. An even better example, however, is the Nintendo NES Classic Edition. This little retro gaming console was by far the hottest tech gift of the holiday season, and it’s still beyond difficult to find in stores. If you’re willing to pay a little extra though, you can score a brand new NES Classic Edition on Amazon right now.
